What is it about flames that we find so hypnotic? From flickering candles to crackling campfires and glowing firepits, the allure is captivating no matter the season. In the Colorado mountains, cool mornings and evenings during the summer and into fall; and cold, crisp days in winter draw us to fires.
Imagine it’s August and you’ve been outside all day hiking and biking in the sun. You return home to soak in the hot tub and then relax in front of an outdoor firepit. Yes, it’s summer but once the sun goes down the temps cool down and you’ll be grabbing for a sweater and taking the chill off in front of the flames. It’s easier to picture gathering in front of a fire in winter, but outside? Pure bliss! After a day of skiing, après is always better al fresco, bundled up in a puffy jacket and drink in hand!
